Description

First Published in 2000. This book offers teachers a useful and very readable text to help them select stories, poetry and non-fiction material for the primary classroom, with ideas on how to teach them. Appropriate selection criteria are discussed and suggestions are given about keeping up with a range of available texts. There is a comprehensive guide to the whole range of books appropriate for use in the Literacy Hour. Part 2 gives practical approaches, tried and tested in primary classrooms, which reflect the guidance contained in The National Curriculum Programmes of Study for English and The National Literacy Strategy. Gervase Phinn has rare gifts as a teacher, speaker, storyteller and writer, all of which skills comes together in the authoring of this book.
